Is it worth it (used rifle purchase)

[Matt_3479]

Trued Rem 700 Short Action
26" #7 RKS Gain Twist Barrel
Defensive Edge Recoil Lug
McMillan A5 stock in grey/black marble finish
Redding dies & 100 Lapua brass
20 MOA Rail

Shoots the 105 Amax in to bug holes at 3100 fps.

The gentlemen is asking 1900. I haven't found out how many rounds down the tube yet which will be a huge factor here. But if I can kick him down a smidge and even if barrel is on it's last legs a local gunsmith doing work on one of my current rifles has 6mm/6.5 cal's barrels in stock. So I can get him to rechamber it into a 260 rem since I current have a 243. Win

It would be a good buy to finish burning the barrel then rebar real to whatever you want.
I'd buy it.

Sounds like a good price, if it shoots well.

For me, unless the barrel has a very low round count, I can't see putting that much in it. Look at it this way, if the barrel is close to done, take $600 off for the barrel, action truing and chambering. Would you normally put $1300 in a stock and factory action?
